About

Shane’s Lab is a public, personal site dedicated to documenting hands-on testing, technical exploration, and practical solutions across a home lab environment.

The purpose of this site is to capture and share real-world findings from working with technologies such as PKI, certificate automation, Linux systems, NGINX, and general infrastructure commonly found in modern environments. Content is based on actual testing, troubleshooting, and implementation—not theory.

You’ll find a mix of:

• Documentation – repeatable procedures, configurations, and setup guides

• PKI & Certificate Notes – observations and practical insights related to certificates and automation

• Homelab Architecture – design choices, system layout, and infrastructure details

• Troubleshooting – issues encountered, root causes, and resolutions

• Updates – short summaries of completed tests, changes, and notable findings

This site serves as both a personal knowledge base and a public resource for others working through similar technical challenges.
